Why Nootka is Nootka ?

      What "Nootka" means, check please on Wikipedia. - it is quite verbose.
      If we cast this word on a realm of Polish language, it means "little note" - very tendentious and poor name - although close to essence of the application.
      My favourite meaning is the Ukrainian, where it is diminutive of Anna name and my daughter’s name is Anna...
      Moreover it has "K", as befits a KDE application and on the beginning it was coding exactly for KDE.
      I hope, You understand now that Nootka means more than only Nootka...
